All About Me
Nichole has 30 years of experience caring for young children and their parents. She is a DONA International trained post-partum doula as well as a trained Le Leche League volunteer. Nichole’s interest in postpartum care traces back to her first pregnancy over 30 years ago.
She became passionate about supporting families when she herself was a first time mom at 20 with very little knowledge and lacking any support people during her experience. She realized she was not alone in her experience, as it is common that many people do not have families that live nearby to help them adjust to parenthood.
Nichole provides lactation support, evidence-based information on infant feeding and care, recovery and support for new mothers after birth, emotional and physical support for new parents, parent–baby bonding, infant soothing, and helping siblings adjust.
Nichole has cared for children with and without medical needs in their home.
Nichole is a mother of 4 grown children, a Grandmom, nanny, active in social justice and environmental causes, and a student of Tai Chi.

Testimonials
"Nichole has been a part of our family from March 2017 to August 2023 after our daughter was born, continuing on with the arrival of our son in June of 2019. Nichole provided support and encouragement during our transition into parenting of a newborn, then again adjusting to life with a toddler and a newborn. Nichole was very supportive to us as new parents with the birth of our daughter. She helped us to establish a stable schedule in a time where things become chaotic with a newborn. She helped mom with her recovery, specifically with sleep and coached dad through adjusting to active nighttime with inconsistent sleep due to feedings. She offered much needed support and encouragement. Her assistance allowed us to be the best parents we could be. The same can be said after the birth of our son. She made the adjustment to juggling care for a toddler an a newborn seamless. We are very fortunate to have found Nichole as she has been a valuable and instrumental addition to our transition into parenting, including juggling care for a toddler and a newborn. We have been more than pleased with everything that she does to provide excellent support and ease things on us as working parents. We highly recommend Nichole with no hesitation as she is a wonderful caregiver and an amazing person to have as a resource. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Franziska Holdrege, MMS, PA-C Andrew T, Abalos, PhD, CNIM"
"March 2023
I had used Nichole for doula services part-time for a few months after my son was born in December. Nichole was a major help to me in the care of my son. She worked overnights while I was able to sleep through the night. I observed Nichole as someone with a very gentle and comforting style when she tended to my son. Nichole showed me some techniques to use to help calm and get the baby to sleep, which I was very appreciative of as being a new parent. She always arrived on time and sent confirmation texts about the nights she was scheduled to work. She had everything organized and cleaned by the time I awoke the next morning to take over. She also communicated very well when the next feeding time would be and any other updates pertaining to the baby’s needs. Nichole has a very easy-going style and we engaged in many pleasant conversations. I would highly recommend Nichole’s doula services for any new parent (s). Thank you, Steven Silverman"
